20-196 O/MANUAL DRAFT OWNER’S MANUAL Cal. N04 20-196 PRO-2067 Mobile Trunkmg Scanner Ptease read before usmg (th equwpment Page 1 20-196 (Ii/MANUAL DRAFT FEATURES Your RadioSheck PRO-2067 ECO-Channel Mobile Trunking Scanner is one of a new generation of scanners designed to track Motorola(R) Type D and Type II (such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus) and hybrid analog trunking systems, plus GElEricsson (EDACS(R]) and EF Johnson (LTR(R)) type systems. which are extensrvely used in many communication systems. Trunking communications systems let a large group at z-way radio users (or even diherent groups of 2-way radio users) etfictently use a large range of irequenmes. instead of selecting a specific frequency for a transmission, the user simply selects a talk group, The trunking system automatically transmits the call on the first available frequency, and also sends (both as a sub audible code on that frequency and on a ditfererit frequency called a data channel) a code that uniquely identities th at trans mission. Since the trunking system might send a call and its response on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to trunked communications usmg a regular scanner The PRO~2067 monitors the data sent With a 2-way radio transmission. so you can hear the call and response for that user and more easily ‘tollow" the conversation. The scanner also lets you scan conventional transmissions, and is preprogrammed with service search banks for oonvenience. By pressing a Single button, you can quickly search those frequenmes most commonly used by public service and 0\her agencies Without tedious and complicated programming. The scanner gives you direct access to over 333.000 frequencies including those used by poltce and fire departments, ambulance servtces, government agencies, air and amateur radio services (0) 2000 Tandy Corporation.
